That will never happen because if a million people got a form letter in the mail that some federal agency they've never heard of is trolling through everyone's crap looking for some petty papers crime that nobody knew was a crime, nobody really cares about (Chinese power tools that had the wrong box checked on the customs form or whatever) they'd ask why their taxes are paying for such activity.


I would assume it would be implemented as a web page where you could check logs. Not a whole bunch of form letters.


Where one could set up email would be fine as well.


Whatever form the notification takes it would eventually get publicized and get people annoyed/angry.


And that's probably a good thing!


…which is exactly why it should (and, as you note, won't) happen, so people will know all the petty nitpicking that is there more to provide jobs than meaningfully regulate.
